Whenever an excavator discovered a cavity, plaster of Paris was poured in and left to harden. The ash around the plaster was then carefully removed, so that a plaster replica of a person at the moment of their death remained. This process gave information about how people had died in the eruption, what they were doing in their final moments and what sort of clothing they wore, the detail helped to develop historians ideas on the relationships between Roman people, the rich, the poor and the
The figures are all vertical with their arms raised holding the spear that comes in at a slight angle drawing attention to Polyphemus’s eye. Polyphemus dominates the space because he is the subject of the story, his face has a look of surprise on it because he is about to loose his eye, and Odysseus and his men are smiling because they have found a way out of this mess that they are in. There is a small amount of negative space around the figures and this seems to be intentional because the rest of the pottery is covered in geometric patterns. This negative space allows our eyes to rest and brings our attention back to the figures in the

The Coffin of Pedi-Osiris, Pedi-Osiris was also known as the Lord of the Underworld, was made between the years of 305 BC-30 AD by various Egyptian artists using an Egyptian mummification process. The coffin, standing at more than 7 feet tall and large enough to contain the Priest, who enclosed in numerous layers of linen cloth, was made to resemble religious semiology and linear decorations using wood, polychrome, gold inlay and paint. Egyptian religion believed in resurrection after death and coffins were made to represent the life after death in order to ensure a successful rebirth. The artists used elaborate and detailed scenes using linear designs and hieroglyphs engravings on the sarcophagus to instruct and assist the Priest on his journey the through the underworld into the afterlife. The ancient Egyptian sarcophagi included illustrations depicting animals, religious proceedings and funerals that are painted on both sides of the coffin.
This marble statue was a gift to the Dallas Museum of Art from Mr. and Mrs. Cecil H. Green. Although both of these works were from the same place, they were created in different time periods and have different purposes. The black-figure panel amphora is a two-handled vase that was used to hold oils and vines and depicts ancient Greek history. The figure of a young man from a funerary relief had later replaced the kraters as a gravemarker and demonstrates the athletic nude male bodies of Athenians during this era. These two works of art will be compared and contrasted in terms of their iconography, purpose, style and historical position.
A closed fracture is where the bone is broke and inside the skin and an open fracture is where the skin is damages and the bone might is visible on an x-ray. A complicated break is a fracture that disrupts the soft tissues, blood vessels and nerves. A comminuted fracture is when bone sections shatter into lot pieces, splintered or crushed. When a bone is broke in two places this is called a double fracture. An impacted fracture is when it is hooked into each other

The classical elegance and sophistication of these features contrasts to a nearby bomb-damaged steel fragment representing the destructive forces of war. These elements stand on a mosaic-covered pavement representing the Greek mainland and islands of the Peloponnese. *May you all please stand quietly and remove all hat and head wear for the last post which will be followed by a minutes silence *lest we
This Classical sculpture, known as the Winged Victory, is attributed to the sculptor Paionios and was probably executed at some time during the 420s BC. During this period, the pressure of incessant warfare, outbreaks of plague, and the loss of its visionary strategist Pericles all struck blows to Athens’ confidence that were reflected in the style of its art. Though the technical mastery characteristic of High Classical sculptures is still evident, artworks of the 420s reflect the increasing focus on the role of the individual cut off from a community context, on the emotive drama or suffering, and on the desire to escape from bitter and brutal reality. The form of Victory embodies the sophisticated end result of the first, primitive attempts to represent motion in the ‘stepping out’ poses of Archaic kouroi. The contrapposto technique, emphasizing the subtle rotation of the hips, conveys the impression of movement realistically.
Along with Pharaoh, his wife, and most prized possessions would be buried as well to make sure the Pharaoh is at peace in the after life. I believe the Luis Eades has depicted this in his painting. He paints a pyramid with what seems to be a person underneath. He places him underneath to show he has passed away and has been buried. The way he uses softer lines to make the man reinforces that he has passed away.
